Galaxy NGC 1512
In this view of the center of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals the galaxy at all wavelenghts from ultraviolet to infrared. The colors (which indicate differences in light intensity) map where newly born star clusters exsist in both "dusty" and "clean" regions of the galaxy. This color-composte image was created from seven images taken with three different Hubble cameras: the Faint Object Camera, the Wide Field and Planetary Camera2, and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer. NGC 1512 is in the southern constellation of Horologium. Located 30 million light years away.
